In today’s episode, we’re addressing a heartfelt question about navigating the tension between prophecy, spiritual gifts, and different church environments. The listener comes from a Romanian Pentecostal background where gifts like prophecy and speaking in tongues were often emphasized, sometimes to the point of misuse, which can be discouraging. Now, they are attending a nondenominational church that follows cessationism—the belief that these gifts are no longer active in our time—creating a sense of moving from one extreme to another. Above all, it’s crucial to honor the Word of God without partiality, avoiding the misuse of spiritual gifts for personal gain, as this can lead to blasphemy. While Scripture affirms the importance of spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12-14), it also emphasizes that love must be the guiding force. Most importantly, honoring the Lord’s Word is more valuable than anything else, for those who truly love Him will keep His commands, even when it challenges our comfort or traditions.

In this episode of Set Apart Living, I tackle a crucial yet difficult question: How can we identify whether mental illnesses, sicknesses, or struggles are manifestations of demonic activity or simply personal battles? We’ll dive into hard truths the church often avoids, leaving us vulnerable to the influence of darkness. By understanding where our pain points lie and why they exist, we can start to break free from the powers of darkness that may be working against us. This is a raw and honest conversation that sheds light on the spiritual battles many of us face but don’t know how to fight.

In this episode of Set Apart Living, we dive into the challenges of anxiety, fear, and the paralyzing weight of making the wrong choices. We reflect on the stories of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Bible, who faced immense opposition yet pushed forward with boldness and faith. Their journeys remind us that God is always for us—He desires our success and joy within the life He’s designed for us. No matter how overwhelming our circumstances may seem, we can take comfort in knowing that there’s nowhere we can go where God will not be with us. Join us as we explore how to step out of fear and into the confidence that comes from trusting His presence and plan for our lives.
